If Josh Allen is opening-day starter, Bills would make history

If rookie quarterback Josh Allen becomes the Buffalo Bills' opening-day starter, it would put the franchise in uncharted territory.

Never before in the NFL's modern era has a playoff team selected a quarterback in the first round of the draft and started him in Week 1 of the following season.

But the Bills could find themselves in that spot come September. They traded up to select Allen during Thursday night's opening round of the draft. He has a decent chance to the win starting job, with only AJ McCarron and Nathan Peterman currently on the roster at the position.
